A great statesman and philosopher would recommend, asylum in mountains. But the dwellings, like - the habits of New England, are too fixed for mountain retreats. Our altars and tire-sides we cannot abandon for caves and grottos: If neither the policy nor the energy'of the mea f sures of Administration can proteet us at borne, where shall we look for proteetion? Shall we cede ourselves to France by alliance with her Tyrant ? We commit • national suicide, and die an ignomi riiiltli political death. We have the fate of half to admonish is against such a dependence. Bnonaparte, like Judas, kisses to betray. The only possible benefit resulting tram his good graces would be O,thnly in from the " tempestuous sea Of li'nerty," r . , • and SeCtirdy groan-led in the dry-Clock of despotism.

Both these nations Lave an itching paltp for this country. They have Contended for it even in its discovery, even when a' forest: the oldest soldier and the youngest student among us know this. But if at 3 period when wild attunprOddelive, it was an object of contest, bow much more so now when it might produce to a conqueror or a seducer a revenue or a contribu tion 'of 30 millions a year. Againat the lust of con quest 'and . the pride of empire do we expeet national justice w defend us? The term, alas ! is no longer ie be found in the libraries of Courts ! Can meek ave us ? When have We known a tyrant lift his foot fronrthe neck of a voluntary slave ? :• it is on the arm of God and the use of our own means this nation must rely for the recovery of its lights and for the maintainance of our independ int.se, Under that Almighty' proteetion we must stand by our own strength, for there is no instance Of a country receiving foreign proteetion who were not ultimately reduced to vassalage. Alliances have generally ended in the same way the very instant a prePonderanee'of 'power and advantage has fallen into either scale. " The great events now agitat:ng in the Eastern Continent, may, and it would seem, 'must so com pletely occupy the Warring rivals of Europe, that their 'itari . ce, would be turned from the United States for a time; and great advantages, if improved, thence -results to our commercial enterprize. Lift the Em bargo, and le.ve commerce to shift for and - in. spite of Imperial Decrees,we have a vast field open for the - display of this enterprize. We have the British ports every where, Su edeq and Norway, the Whole coast of Portugal and Spain, the Islands of Minorca, Majorca, the whole of the Turkish coast df the Mediterranean,-exceptAlgiers, the entire\Vestern and Southern coast of Africa, the borders of the Red Sea, India and China, Madeira, Tenerifle, and the Azores, most of the rich Islands of the West Indies, the Spanish and Portuguese coast of South America, the whole American coast of the Pacific Ocean.— And what is more important to us, our own coast and our own fisheries, comprising more than four fifths of the- commercial roasts of the four Conti nents, and productive islands of the seas. Shall we forego all the advantages ytinch could be derived from these sources of wealth from dread of the de ' crees.otian adventurer, who has grown potent from incident, and whom the justice of Heaven may soon throw back to impotence,on his native island of rocks an d s tei r illiy ? A mighty man of valour, who dares not send a bomb-ketch . to sea, through the dread of his enemy Such humility is too degrading to the feelings of brave men and honest Americans. ( '" ttit i'r till's tilsis be . Seiied, as by mtny jippre• , . betided, and by 'S'onle Asserted, to try an experiment upon a favourite ylatt of.withdrawing ourselves en .. iiely frbm-the seas, and wholly abandoning foreign ommerce, it requires no deep penetration to fore-. see that the expei - iment; if persevered in, will pro- duce a, dismembermtfnt of the niion.

De prive' us of this, and we-nan beCome hewers of wood and drawers of water fo task-masters of more luxuriant, climates; brit ere' this humiliation sink us, hearts will bleed ,and heads .w ill fall. I- mean not generally to implicate anrseetion of the United .States into hostility to the interests and growth of . the Ndrth and East ; but in some leading characters ,t.havie witnessed conduct which would justify the suspicion ; and no where more strongly than in an ob .stinate opposition to the just claims of our country men, who unsuspeEting:y purchased territory under the solemn grant of a State : I mean on the-Yazoo ;, the embargo is:pot without its features of a similar design. ! It destroys the fruit ofindustry, and turns our labours to nought. 1 i " Agriculture is Me handmaid of commerce," says a great man. But if the abilities of the Governess be pinioned; where shall the hand-maid find Means to be useful to herself? Tile present,times answer this question. What is to be donewith the surplus produce ' of our hard earnings upon oui-hard farms ? Perish in • our granaries and cells . ! Where is the circulating., medium of our country ? Embargoed. In banks, which, like the gates of death, shut, and no man opens --How shall the farmer and the .fisberman dis charge his contra&s ?, By bankruptcy.

" Situated as we are, we possess nothing, nor can we produce any thing which will bring cash. And though we . give our bodies to be burned; and have' not cash, it is nothing. Privation and imprisonment will not pay a debt of honour, nor sati.fy, an execution ; but, if things stand on as now going, this state .of dignified retirement wilt by and bye - become our dernier resort for making ourselves respeelcd abroad and secure at home. if Our national father, Washington, whose name all parties hail with enthusiasm, always recommend ed to the States, as a strong bond of union, mutual sacrifices, for6earances and sufferings. (I wish his valedt&ory may be read in caucuses.) Flow has his Counsel been respeaed ? The eastern States have been left naked of defence, to spare money for ca-. parisoning a hobby on the West of our ancient btsun daries (for such is Louisiana), and it is believed the Embargo was. recommended, in some measure, to gratify the imperial vender of that hobby lest, in his wrath he should dismount its rider. Whatever the inducement to the measure, the author could not but foresee that it must, if continued,-operate unequal ly upon the different States. The north and east have not the natural resources of the south and west. Some of our necessaries of life, many. of 'our conve niences, and most of our luxuries are derived from commerce : deprive us totally -of this -resort, and wants both real arid imaginary Will assail u's, 'and will,produce that discontentment which presi4enti4l proclamations will find difficult to ;pacify..

We some little time - back mentioned the vestiges of Roman baths, &c. t and in excavating the reservoir for the Colchester Water-works ; since that period, in proceeding with the works, the workmen fell in with a quantity of Roman pavement, and, what is extraordinary, beneath that some oak. framing almost perfeily sound, although it must have laid there . above a thousand years. By inspection it appears that it had been previously charred, as the crust was .on . it when first dug up. It is therefore evident that chart - 41g of timber, to make it last under ground, was known to the Romans. AMidst the fragments of the porcelain found Vac one vessel of most exquisite workmanship and classi cal taste, ,the outside of which was highly embossed with basso relievo, divided into different depart ments, in two of which were Diana and Faumis on pedestals facing e ac h other.

SESSIONS COURT, GRF.EN.STREET, ' Patrkk Ill'ainnis; a Master Baker, in Charles street, with four • otherS, ' were . tried for having as ! 1 sembled, contrary to the stature to regulate,trade, for a conspiracy to prevent other masters ili 1,40 same business from carrying on their trade, by- in timidating iaCtors from supplying thern with flour.; and McGinnis was indicted particularly for' lipped• . ing the manulaCture of bread, by prohibiting several persons from being supplied with bairn. There was auother indiament for instigating certain Jour neymen Bakers to-gun') out against their employers. Counsel for the. Crown stated,• that a person named Alexander Bogie, who had served in SCot4 land, 'the place of his nativity, seven years to the trade of a baker, like m an y ot h er speculating emir: grants from . his country, thought it eXpedient to set up that bukines at considerable expence, in Great Britain-street. About the 2gth of May last he was surprised at receiving warning froth sOme Of his journeymen, th a t t h ey could no longer con:- tinue to work for him ; on remonstrating as to the reason, he, was. informed, that as he had not served his apprenticeship in Dublin, a certain Committee of Master Bakers were deterrrifnedtO put doWn a ll intruders in the trade, who had not complied with a rule of that nature most solemnly entered into. He was referred for 'information -to' the prisoner McGinnis, with whom he had a conference: McGin nis avowed the resolution entered into, 'but gave a faint assent to 'an observation by Bogie of the pecu liar hardship imposed on him, after having gone to considerable expense in fining tip ovens, buildings, &c. when there was an opportunity of 'giving him early information on that head. On going to some Flour Factors with whom he bad dealings, they re fused him flour, alledging notices they had received from the Committee of Bakers to' that effeet as ail excuse. • This statement, of which we can only afford a mere sketch, was supported, - in e6dence by Mr. Wilson, who arrested the traversers, and Mi - . BOgie, .the prosecutor; who, with much composure, read.a narrative he had compiled from the different meino randuins lie had made recently after: the transajtion. A person named Ryan, a baker, deposed to hay • 'mg been present at a meetin g w he r e , a ll t h e prison.; ers were at .a house of call kept by one Dunn,. in ,Nicholas'-Street, except the prisoner Meade. He swore to having been prevented from carrying on business in Conseque nc e of notices-served upon him, and his journey men quitting hitti--=that he attributed a succeeding bankruptcy exclusively to this cause. • Other - witseses - corroborated the ,statement of *Counsel; particularly a Callaghan,- considerable 'Flour;fa6tor, who s'wore,.that in con Seq u e nce. o f notices he received, he ;refused to give Bogie Flour, anci would' have done so had he tendered lam cash, from •'that he. considered a 'prudent Motive, that it he did not comply with those ntitcS - he would have lost More lucrative ckstomer s ' t h an IVi r.
